In 1953 - a Missionary chiropractor to Ethiopia challenged Christian students at Palmer Chiropractic College to support an Ethiopian student in chiropractic education.

Brief History or the Beginnings of the CCA

1960 - Dr. Mulatu Baffa graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic and returned to his home country of Ethiopia. The students remained faithful to their vision by raising funds to equip and establish a chiropractic clinic at the Ethiopian leprosarium. The student group continued to meet and grow - keeping in contact after graduation.

In 1963 the C.C.A. was granted 501(c)3 charitable status by the Internal Revenue Service under the name: World-Wide Christian Chiropractors Association.
